The MCX556A-EDAT is a network interface card produced by Mellanox Technologies. The card is designed to support both InfiniBand (IB) and Ethernet protocols. This card is one of the ConnectX-5 series of adapters, which are built with advanced features to deliver high-speed connectivity and low latency.
Dual-Port PCIe InterfaceThe MCX556A-EDAT adapter card is equipped with a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, which provides a high-bandwidth connection to the host computer. This interface is designed to support the latest generation of servers and workstations, ensuring that the card can deliver its full performance potential.
EDR InfiniBandThe MCX556A-EDAT card supports EDR InfiniBand, which is the latest generation of InfiniBand technology. This technology provides a high-speed, low-latency, and scalable interconnect solution that is ideal for high-performance computing (HPC) environments. The EDR InfiniBand protocol is capable of delivering data transfer rates of up to 100 Gb/s.
100GBe EthernetThe MCX556A-EDAT card also supports 100GBe Ethernet, which is the latest generation of Ethernet technology. This technology provides a high-speed, low-latency, and scalable interconnect solution that is ideal for data center environments. The 100GBe Ethernet protocol is capable of delivering data transfer rates of up to 100 Gb/s.
VPI ArchitectureThe MCX556A-EDAT adapter card features a Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) architecture, which allows the card to support both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols. This architecture provides a flexible and scalable solution that can meet the needs of a wide range of applications.
Advanced FeaturesThe MCX556A-EDAT card is built with advanced features to ensure high performance, low latency, and reliable operation. These features include:
- RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)
- Adaptive Routing
- Quality of Service (QoS)
- Congestion Control
- Message Passing Interface (MPI)
- Virtualization
- Data Center Bridging (DCB)
- T10-DIF Protection
RoCE is a technology that enables efficient data transfer between servers and storage devices over Ethernet networks. The MCX556A-EDAT card supports RoCE, allowing for high-speed, low-latency data transfer without the need for a dedicated InfiniBand network.
Adaptive Routing
Adaptive Routing is a feature that allows the adapter card to dynamically choose the most efficient path for data transfer based on the network conditions. This feature helps to optimize network performance and reduce latency.
Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS is a feature that allows the adapter card to prioritize network traffic based on the type of data being transferred. This feature ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and network resources to operate effectively.
Congestion Control
Congestion Control is a feature that manages network traffic to prevent congestion and ensure that data transfer remains efficient. This feature helps to reduce latency and improve network performance.
